Bang on a Can All-Stars
with special guest, percussionist Glenn Kotche, of Wilco
What a hit! Clarinets, cello, keyboard, electric guitar, bass, and drums––Bang on a Can is part rock band and part amplified chamber group. Their mission is to give the most persuasive and exciting performances of the most genre-defying music in the world. Purposely blurring the lines between classical and pop ensembles, their mixing creates an intense, hard-rocking approach to performance that no other group can match.
"If all contemporary-classical-music concerts were like this...there wouldn't be a problem with contemporary classical music."
